During the last years of his life, the composer also wrote,
among other things, the Twentieth, Twenty-first, and Twenty-second symphonies
(the last unfinished). This Chronology -- for many details of whichMusic Under

it omits more than sixty film scores and numerous vocal and instrumental scores
for theatre, circus, and radio productions.
